Wendell says his daughter, Sherrine (Dayton's mom) is currently preparing to do an Ironman competition, with Dayton as her partner

He has another married child, Cameo Johnson, who is on a year long travel with her husband and 4 children. They plan to visit all 50 states
The dad of that family is an emergency room RN
So when they get to a metropolis, he stops and works a few days to earn money to carry them along
Wendell said he'd send me their blog address so I can catch up on their adventure

Harry and Wanda

They are retiring at the end of this year

He works night shift, keeping an eye on a big company's computers, trouble shooting when things go wrong

She is in kitchen appliance sales and bakes a passel of bread at the store every week

Aunt Mabel cooked in pressure cookers purchased in the store where Wanda works

The crock pot didn't get plugged in while we were at church

Flexible Aunt Mabel pulled out the pressure cooker pans and cooked up the dinner in a hurry

We heard stories of my dad teasing his little brother, Lincoln

It had not occurred to me before......

I have missed a wide facet of my dad's history

by not living close enough to his younger siblings

to know their stories of him
So hearing a few stories was a super treat

What a terrific perk of our weekend.....delightful cousins chats
I feel such a love for my family, where ever they are

About Me

For years I've considered myself a woman in transition----always learning something from my experiences. I've noticed that! The initials behind my name say I am a counselor - - -but I am so much more than that. I'm a mom, grandma, sister, friend . . . a student of the heart.
